Nikon Coolscan 8000 film scanner for sale!
Firm price. Please note I don't accept offers.
Firewire (or thunderbolt) connection only, please do not use firewire
to USB converters, these can fry the scanner's main board.
You can safely use the original Apple Firewire to Thunderbolt 2
and Thunderbolt 2 to Thunderbolt 3 adapters in a chain.
*****
Few marks and scratches here and there, fully working.
Unlike other units online this one had been fully serviced:

- First surface mirror removed, cleaned, re-seated.
- Focus assembly worm gear checked, lube applied. Extra fixing added into nylon gear.

Please note the scanner doesn't come with software.
Nikon Scan 4 can be downloaded from the manufacturer's website.
You will need a modified driver if you want to use that with Windows 7 or 10.
I would recommend to get a copy of VueScan Professional instead
if you want to use the scanner with modern machines.
******
Will be double boxed for safe delivery.
Buyers based in the US: Please make sure to give me your TAX ID at the check-out.
Without that I can't ship the scanner. This is required for customs clearance.

Import charges are the responsibility of the buyer.
